Ugh. I think I have an ingrown nail! [View all]

It's likely an ingrown nail on my left foot. I'm fine without shoes but once I'm in them the pain starts.

I guess I'm getting old. Never had a problem with my feet.

I'm calling the foot and ankle center nearby tomorrow morning to get an appointment. Lucky for me that I am in a retirement center that has a car service that will take me and pick me up.

I shudda taken care of this earlier but I thought it would just go away!!!
